Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway is a UK-credentialed counsellor with over 6 years of professional experience supporting children, young people and adults through a wide range of emotional challenges. She brings practical experience from working in a pupil referral unit, where she provided counselling to students unable to attend mainstream school and to their parents, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bereavement, school refusal, abuse and trauma. Prior clinical work also includes Drawing and Talking therapy, which informed her skill in working with younger clients and creative therapeutic approaches.

Jennie describes her own journey into counselling as rooted in personal experience with grief, which deepened her commitment to helping others navigate loss, anxiety, stress and life transitions. She practices as an integrative counsellor, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to adapt to each person’s needs. She works in a non-directive way that honours the individual’s knowledge of themselves while offering evidence-informed tools and structure when helpful.

Jennie holds NCPS accreditation, a professional recognition that indicates formal training and adherence to recognised practice standards. She tailors each session to the client’s circumstances, creating a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore the present and past, build coping skills, and consider where the client wants to go next. She is experienced with issues including parenting and family concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, sleep problems and a broad range of life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the individual to explore their own feelings and goals; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions where personal understanding and autonomy are central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviours, offering practical strategies to address anxiety, stress, obsessive thinking, sleep problems and unhelpful coping patterns. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support coping with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and difficulties with focus or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennie will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can integrate different approaches over time so the plan evolves with the client’s progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules or to work across distances. With options for synchronous and asynchronous contact, online work can increase accessibility and convenience while allowing therapists and registered professionals to tailor the format to each client’s circumstances.
